Methylation of DNA is an epigenetic modification critical for gametic imprinting
Differences in epigenetic patterns in male and female organisms highlight the key role of epigenetic mechanisms in development, initiated in gametogenesis. A consequence of imprinting is the expression of only one allele – maternal or paternal. Disturbances in imprinting cause genetic disorders (e.g...
